August q. 1887. Attorney General.

Mr.. G. II. Slaughter-Dear Sir: was fore.
man OF the Grand Jury about three years ago
when you and perhaps others were indicted.
The Offense, or what was considered the
offense, consisted in selling certain bitters
taat were put up by manufacturers and sold
by many merchants throughout the country.
There was no claim that you were dealing in
whiskey, or other intoxicants, except as above
stated. The proof before the Grand Jury
showed that Mr.. Whitfield seld the bittsrs,
though you were owner OF the store.

G. III. Slaughter, Esq.-Dear Sir: You and
Mr.. Whitfield were indicted for selling Bit
tiers, AS were several other merchants in the
county about the same time. The form OF
indictment was the same In all these cases, II
being the one used in cases OF selling liquor
without a license. 1t had not been settled at
that time whether dealers Ia these bitters
were subject to the whiske, dealers lax, judges
aud lawyers holding different opinions on
the subject. 1t was thought proper In oil
these cases In which there had boen no Will
full violation OF law, to allow the defendants
to pay costs and have the indictments dis
missed. On this ground your case was dis
missed. Yours, ETC..

Companies a and D, First Regiment
N. S. n. g. are receiving q great deal
of favorable comment ut Washington.
Washington dispatches say the Mime
sofa companies, Captains Bean and
Amory, occupied q prominent place in
the militia procession on Wednesday,
and made an excellent impression upon
the thousands Of spectators who lined
the route. The plain uniforms of the
companies were appreciated by the
crowd of Washingtonians, which has
. strong regard for the regular army
and its equipment, which that Of the
Minnesota men so closely resembles.
Col. Bo5leter, who was in command Of
the fifth battalion, put his command
through series Of eyolutions by per-
sonal command on the streets that at.
tracted great attention. Col. Bobleter
afterwards conducted battalion drill
at the drill grounds. The Minnesota
companies dined together, Company A
being the host.
Saturday Company D St. Paul drilled.
The report wired from Washington is
Us follows: They represented a very
soldierly appearance as they marched
from the entrance gate to the grand
stand, and were greeted with loud and
prolonged shouts Of approval. Their
drilling was revelation, and if they
have been surpassed by any company it
is only by the Toledo Cadets. Their
manual OF arms was the poorest part of
their performance, but it was fully up to
the standard of most of the other COM
panies. Their company maneuvers were
executed with finish and ease that has
not been surpassed by any company.
Their yolley firing was the best that had
been heard, all guns going off as one.
They fred lying down very nicely, ly-
ing and rising as one man. An ex-ar-
my officer who sat next to your CORE
spondent during the drill, said he would
bet anything that the St. Paul boys
would be among the first three COM
panies, and he thought that they would
be at least second.

Commodore w. F. Davidson, one of
the pioneer residents of St. Paul, died
suddenly last Thursday of heart dis
ease. He had been suffering since
Tuesday and his friends warned him
that he was working too hard. He
made a will on Wednesday. His pro-
perty is estimated at nearly $4,000, 900.
He has built a great many blocks in that
city. MIR. Davidson was born in Ohio
in 1925 and began life as canal boat
man at an early age. In 1854 he came
to St. Paul and began the conquest of
the Mississippi river. He had no opposi-
ton at first. Then an opposition COM
pany came on, but he ran them off.
Later competition developed and finally
all the lines were consolidated as the
St. Paul and St. Louis Packet Compa-
ny, with the commodore at the head.

Wednesday, June 1, 1887.

In a circular issued last week, State
Supt. Kiehle declares that teachers are
by law required to give the we'll
authenticated declarations respecting
the special subject Of the influence Of
stimulants and narcotics upon the hu.
man system. I'm q subject which is
related to various social and economic
problems, the teacher should teach
with scientific accuracy and impartial-
ity; and, as teacher, he should not in
trude those questions to which he has
the right of discussion as a citizen, but
not as a teacher Attention is also
called to the fact that the law in ques-
ton includes all that our schools will
teach in physiology and hygiene. It
now remains for Mr.. Kiehle to forcibly
assert these views as member of the
textbook commission and thereby Sc
cure the recommendation of text books
for the upper grades which are written
for the purpose of setting forth the
truth and nothing but the truth, and
not for the sole purpose Of securing the
Endorsement of certain private orgaai-
cations. The public schools of this
state cannot be compelled to make pro-
seytes to strengthen the ranks Of the
prohibition, the high or low license or
any other parties or factions; they can
only deal with facts, and not with mere
beliefs.
